We spent the first weekend of October visiting the Grande Ole Pumpkin Patch. We have been to the patch every year since Brodie could walk. I guess it has become a family tradition that we all look forward to each year. Brodie and Roger enjoyed a tractor ride and pony ride. We all enjoyed sliding down the inflatables and a hayride to the patch to choose the "perfect" pumpkin. A first for Brodie this year was the roasted corn. He ate all of it by himself and still wanted more!
September- We took a family trip to Gulf Shores to celebrate my 3-0! I can't believe I'm not twenty something anymore. But I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be than the beach. My parents and sister were also able to join us for the weekend. We did all the usuals; relaxing under the beach umbrella, shopping, going out to eat, and racing at the track. Our first this 
year was to ride the ferris wheel at the Wharf. Brodie loved it and kept rocking the cart much to my dismay. It was a happy trip and a great way to celebrate any age.
One boring saturday morning we decided to head to Atlanta. We were on our way to the Georgia acquarium for something new to see and do. Our dare devil child quickly spotted the tops of the Six Flags roller coasters from the interstate. Apparently we chose the wrong attraction for the day. The acquarium was interesting but, not the best we've seen. One of those places we can say, been there done that.
